And I have only three things to say:
1: Why have I never watched this show until now?
2: Mabel is my spirit animal... person.
3: My favourite episodes, before anyone asks, are The Deep End, Headhunters, Land Before Swine, The Inconveniencing, Fight Fighters, Summerween, Dreamscaperers and Gideon Rises.
When Season 4 ended, I was saying that their increasing inability to write a solid adventure story was dragging the show down, and I'd like a greater emphasis on Slice Of Life.
Now I'd take a dozen Twilight's Kingdom-esque messes, just so long as there are actual stakes again. And please stop ramming Flurry Heart down our throats.
Season 5 was good about this, though. It wasn't until 6 that things really started to drag, and it looks like 7 is off to a bad start.
Y'know, every now and again someone insists on making a blog post about how they've not been watching ponies for a while, but now they're thinking about doing it.
And they make it out to be some kind of... thing. Like whether or not they're watching a children's tv show should matter.
Let me stop you there, folks.
It doesn't.
It's a cartoon. It's a good, fun cartoon, but it's just a goddamned cartoon.
Watch it.
Don't watch it.
Nobody cares.
After that blog I did two days ago, I told myself: "No, I won't blog anything. I can resist blogging."
Ha.
tl;dr -- I gush about how my family has embraced MLP, I worry about life lessons for my son via ponies, and I dread the future of our favorite cartoon.
Ah, the Cutie Mark Crusaders. When a friend introduced me to the show, he described them as something of a Plot Tumor, and I can certainly see how those who watched Season 1 episodically would feel that way. We're introduced to this amazing world and six incredible mares… and then we have to sit through 22 minutes about a trio of yutzes who can't even tell what they're good at.
I've been laughing for months at this post, not for the reasons I should. The apple and the pear are no longer mere "friends," my good commenter.
This is a compilation of the "Looking Back" series of posts, in which I go over each part of the show, season by season, episode by episode, and reminisce on what it was like at the time they came out. If you want to see these as they come, be sure to subscribe so you get notifications.

I think I may have overused a muscle or I popped something in my neck wrong so I can't really use one of my arms at it's full 100 percent ability so since I'm kind of in a slight pain, I've been finally catching up on the seasons of MLP I missed.
Slight as in more of a dull annoying pain that has been actually getting better, and not the I'm in total abject pain please get me to a hospital kind of pain.
Before I show you guys the stuff I’ve got in store for ya, I’d like to say...that I’ve been acknowledging the fact that I was going to be reaching my 260th blog post every time I looked at the posts that represented the numbers before it. And so, I wanted to use this post to show this video below to celebrate reaching 260, as well as the fact that I’ve recently got up to 110 followers!
UPDATES TO STREAMING AND STUFF!!!
So, I got the Vtuber bug. I've already tried it out and I'm very much in love with using an avatar to interact with you guys. I'm much more comfortable with that as opposed to being on camera.
I'm going to try moving most of my streaming to Twitch as I'd like to gain more tragic from it, but the very lewd stuff I'm going to keep on Picarto.

Today, I'm gonna be showing you guys another video that I find to be absolutely hilarious. And this sketch not only stars Carol Burnett, but also...another person that I believe to be one of the greatest comedians of all time: Robin Williams

If you have a YT account you can log in and hang on the chat that's there (Until after the show that is)
I'm already there, so are many others (Tara, Greg and even the cast like to come on too.) we can all talk and hangout.
UGH!! I still can't stand MLP... but I promised to attend every single ep, even if it's a cartoon I don't know or like, or a ship.
Me: Is this pizza sauce sour because dad forgot to put sugar in it or did it expire?

I may as well let people know this...
Ship it is planning an MLP show next week... January 5 (Tune into their YT channel or Rooster teeth, 2pm PST... 5pm Eastern)
*SIGHS* I will be attending that ep, though I really don't wish to. I made a promise to the Show as well as a concept Tara and Greg agreed with.
I finally got around to watching Pony Life. I have got to say that I am enjoying it. It's cute! I was worried a few favorite characters were not going to be in it but now I am satisfied after watching "Discord's Peak". It is a bit weird with the new voice actor and all but I really like the way they are writing Discord's character. He's not as soft as he is when he is reformed in FiM, he's a bit more mean and I like that. It's like he is not evil but he's not totally good either. The voice
